Astrology and science should never exist together in a sentence unless it reads "Astrology is not science." Kinda like fables and non-fiction.

No.

I once read a book on astrology that went into great detail on the influence of every planet, the sun and moon for my moment and place of birth. It ended up with so many multiple and conflicting influences that it made no sense. It could have applied to virtually anyone. But people who believe in astrology cherry pick what they want to believe about themselves.

Nope, it's just a great big heap of steaming woo. Certain things are pre-determined before birth, of course, but by genetics rather than by whether or not Uranus is in the seventh house of Claptrap. Place can be an indication (for example, if you're born in Buckingham Palace you're probably going to have a much easier life than if you were born in a Mumbai slum), but is purely an indication of a likely future rather than a cause of it.
